Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Graphics Comparison (Switch vs Wii U)

I would guess that some models are finished and some are not, based on how big upgrades some are.
Its largely the furred characters that look strange, particularly with less colour. also fox has a duck bill now.
Ive noticed a few characters had really janky looking animations like lucario that hopefully arent final. The art style reminds me a lot of Brawl which is the worst of the series imo, its just pulling it off better than Brawl ever did. I think smash 4 nailed it with its vibrant palette.
This is embarrassing, considering the development time, the help from Bandai-Namco, that it's only coming in late 2018 and since its base on the WiiU edition of the game,it should really be better in every possible way.
But to be honest, the WiiYU version, looked great.... when it came out. Also, Nintendo often improve the graphic at the very last moment, so who knows how it will turn?

I feel like this video (and I'm watching in 1080p60fps, looks shitty compared to how the game looked during the Ninty Direct. So I don't know if something happened or changed while they edited this video together or what... Yeah, just pulled it up on youtube, def looks different to me.
Their video source for Ultimate seems pretty poor, like they took the footage from the stream itself. The colors look less faded in the actual uploaded video:

Yeah overall there isn't a lot of HD footage. Even Nintendo's footage is lackluster.
It's Nintendo tradition to release poor quality footage of upcoming games at this point.
DK looks like he was ripped out of Brawl.... just put in the DKCTF model please.
DK looks like hot garbage, hopefully he'll look better at release. I blame Ice climbers.
Blargh, why everything got so white? I hate this kind of "ilumination".
Pikachu looks like it was on bleach for 2 weeks.
Its the meele -> brawl "upgrade" all over again. Pass.

Looks like the same WiiU model, but missing the fur effects. Probably something that still needs to be implemented, or they are using it as a stand in.
and you don't want to be on bleach! that anime/manga went to shit like no other
This entire thread seems baseless. Why is there a video comparing direct captures to encoded streamed video of an early, unfinished, demo build?
Hes on a brightly lit stage. Hes textures are just reacting to the light. You can see hes nice and yellow in more dimly lit stages.
I think it looks notably better, but I like the washed colors look for Smash
Lighting is clearly a big step up

looks great
the smoke trails in Ultimate look kind of amazing. animations looked super slick during the invitational.

True, but it does show that the work being done in the graphical department is pretty significant. Personally, I prefer the WiiU version on some of the shots (particularly that of Shulk) because of vibrant colors and clarity, but the Switch version is clearly technically better already, and I'm sure it will improve in some ways.
Its not just him, you can see every caracheter has a white aura(look at villager head). I see this in a lot of ubisoft games and almost every port of a next gen game for switch, so one could say its next-gen thing, but for me, looks hideus.
Not just that, but it looks as though Ultimate's footage comes from the stream, lol.
I just rewatched the official upload of the trailer and it all looks better than Wii U IMO
They aren't, it's the comparison video's source
Rewatch the official upload in 1080p
Man FUCK DK, I'm just looking at those people in the audience.
DK looks like hot garbage, hopefully he'll look better at release. I blame Ice climbers.
Goddamn that's not good lol.
Are people trolling? The Switch game looks noticeably better (even compressed), poor DK aside. *Rubs eyes*
I mean, sure the colors are more muted (I dig it) but like the textures and lighting are clearly better... right? No?

Because Nintendo uses some extreme hot garbage inner glow on the moddels from most sides.
The same rubbish is used in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee.
"Looks better in every way" my ass.
I think the models (sans DK) look better but as a huge fan of extremely saturated colorful games I'm disgusted by how washed out pikachu and charizard look lmao
This is a terrible comparison video. Not only is the Ultimate footage of poor quality, but the selected images of comparison are weird and undetailed.
It just reeks of rushed content for the sake of clicks, and that bothers me since Gamexplain have had some great comparison footage in the past.

It still looks better.
The lighting, textures on the stage, and the character models too.
This is compressed Switch footage too.
Small detail but the flowers are full 3D on SwitchBecause Nintendo uses some extreme hot garbage inner glow on the moddels from most sides.

Look the blurry brick texture on Wii U vs a better and higher resolution on Switch. Look how much better is the flower basket and te flowers are true 3D now. Compare the Wood in the house in background.
On Pikachu you can notice how the new ligth make it looks more 3D, like a real doll. Look a his shadow, It is casted on the entire stage's objects, not only in the floor, like on Wii U.
I think that the only thing that looks better on Wii U is the color saturation.
After putting in 1500 hours into the Wii U version it was immediately apparent that they are using alot of the previous games assets.
The only things that really stand out are the new animations, special effects and lighting.
Is it better? Yes. Alot better? No.
A lot of the comparisons make it seem like the Switch just uses washed out less colorful versions of the Wii U's models.
UhhhBecause Nintendo uses some extreme hot garbage inner glow on the moddels from most sides.

Pikachu with hats on employ subtle differences in their color palettes. The one in the Smash Ultimate screenshot isn't as saturated because it's palette is literally designed to be less saturated. It's to differentiate the characters more in mirror matches. So yes, it's still better in every way.
Conversely, that Smash Wii U Pikachu is a slightly more greenish tint than what it actually should be.
60?!?!? I would be happy with 20! I seriously don't care about the roster or stages nearly as much as the quality of the online, which no smash game has ever done well. Quality online experience would be the true sequel worthy feature. We'll see
The WiiU images look so much sharper and more detailed. You have to be really delusional to see the opposite? Wth?
Did you eat paint chips as a child? You might be suffering from a case of blindness
More detailed? Did you look at any of the stages? Or the entirely new lighting system?
In the case of the inner glow I don't need better image quality to judge the effect.
The inner glow on the models is a straight visual downgrade for me.Uhhh

It looks horrible and is simply overdone like the horrible bloom examples in the PS3/X360 era.
In this comparison the effect is absent and it looks miles better:
Or is this example visually really bad because Bowser doesn't has extreme pronounced inner glowing on the outlines of his model and his colors are not totally desaturated?
Something Nintendo should fix?
No, it's the other way around and they should remove this nonsense from Pokemon Let's Go too.
God I hope this shit doesn't make it's turn on Gen 8 too.
Luigi is a complete cipher depending on what game he's in. In mainline games he's an enthusiastic go-getter. In Luigi's Mansion he's a scaredy-cat. In Smash he's awkward and clumsy. In Mario Kart he looks like he's about to go for the jugular.
My favorite is Luigi's Mansion 2, where he's just in a perpetually exasperated "oh boy here we go again" mode.
The simple hard lighting on Wii U is absolutely worse on a technical level, but I think stylistically is a better choice, at least from what I've seen so far. That being said the other improvements beyond lighting are huge and make things look better in situations where the lighting and coloration are close
